Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Time, why you punish me?

Like a wave crashing into the shore

You wash away my dreams

Time, why you walk away?

Like a friend with somewhere to go

You left me crying

[Chorus]

Can you teach me 'bout tomorrow

And all the pain and sorrow, running free?

'Cause tomorrow's just another day

And I don't believe in time

[Verse 2]

Time, I don't understand

Children killing in the street

Dying for the color of a rag

Time, take their red and blue

Wash them in the ocean, make them clean

Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight

[Chorus]

Can you teach me 'bout tomorrow

And all the pain and sorrow, running free?

But tomorrow's just another day

And I don't believe in—

[PostChorus]

(Time, time) Time is wastin', is walkin'

(Time, time) You ain't no friend of mine

(Time, time) I don't know where I'm goin'

(Time, time, time) Think I'm out of my mind

Thinkin' about time

And if I die tomorrow, yeah

Just lay me down to sleep

[Bridge]

Oh, no, no, no, no

[Bridge]

(Time, time) Time is wastin', is walkin'

(Time, time) You ain't no friend of mine

(Time, time) I don't know where I'm goin'

(Time, time, time) I think I'm out of my mind

Thinkin' about time

[Verse 3]

Time, you left me standing there

Like a tree growin' all alone

The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare

Time, the past has come and gone

The future's far away

Well, now only lasts for one second, one second

[Chorus]

Can you teach me 'bout tomorrow

And all the pain and sorrow, running free?

'Cause tomorrow's just another day

And I don't believe in time

[PostChorus]

(Time, time, time, time) You ain't no friend of mine

(Time, time) I don't know where I'm goin'

(Time, time) I think I'm out of my mind

(Time, time) Walkin', wasted

(Time, time) You ain't no friend of mine

(Time, time) I don't know where I'm goin'

(Time, time) No, no, no, no

Time without courage and time without fear

Is just wasted, wasted, wasted time, oh

[Outro]

Ooh

Time, why you punish me?
